Some followups from recent entries
- This weekend's Big Event was XML
in Office 12 - millions of posts. Today it's been all things Apple and
Intel. I've seen ApTel and
(my preferred) MacTel, but I'm not sure yet how it will affect our
group, as we are fairly focused on Wintel for desktops, servers, and
directory services.
- One very nice XML site can be found here - a good introduction to XML.
More pressure to move over to that format with my Eclipse project.
- I knew that Eclipse 3.1 is just
around the corner, but I'm consciously waiting for the relase version,
not just the candidates. I'm struggling
enough <g> with what I consider the basics, don't want to deal
with bug hunts.
- I really like this
post today just for the infographic,
but it related to another interesting
post about the application of large computing resources in the field of
genomics. A very
interesting detail about the infrastrucutre requiremmentsfor the data
center supporting that processing, with an excellent observation about
the costs - processors and storage decrase in cost, but the power
consumption! (and, what most people forget about when planning data
centers / systems - failover and UPS!)
- An interesting attempt
in TechRepublic today about re-using database design, but not too
original; most organizations I've been with love the idea of reusing
data objects, at many levels - full table sets, views, as well as
design paradigms like "all pkeys are long integers" and "list if
lists". Years ago I stumpled across this
site, with lots of starter data models at different levels of
completeness / complexity.
